Crabdozer can put out Heatblast by placing him inside of its mouth, its saliva being a fire-suppressant.[3]
History
Omniverse
Zed
- Crabdozer first appeared in The More Things Change: Part 1. It was sent by Khyber as a test to see if Ben was "worthy prey". Crabdozer fought Spidermonkey. It proved to be more than a match for Spidermonkey, but Khyber called Crabdozer back before it could finish him off.
- In Of Predators and Prey: Part 1, Crabdozer attacked Ben at the mall. After being trapped by Stinkfly, Crabdozer turned into Buglizard. Later, Crabdozer defended Khyber from Heatblast before turning into Terroranchula to battle Ball Weevil.
- In Of Predators and Prey: Part 2, Crabdozer defeated Heatblast in Khyber's ship. It was then defeated by Armodrillo, so it turned into Slamworm.
- In Outbreak, Crabdozer appeared when the Nemetrix was malfunctioning and rammed into Khyber before he managed to subdue it. Crabdozer reverted when Dr. Psychobos repaired and perfected the Nemetrix.
- In Malefactor, Crabdozer battled Heatblast, who turned into Armodrillo and defeated it, so it turned into Slamworm.
Khyber's Panuncian
- In A Fistful of Brains, one of the Panuncian's clones used its Nemetrix to transform into Crabdozer after the Panuncian cornered Ben.
- In For a Few Brains More, Crabdozer was eaten by Perk Upchuck, so it turned into Ultimate Panuncian.
Skurd
- In Stuck on You, Skurd gave Khyber a Crabdozer armor to battle Heatblast.
